I don't suppose you guys realize how much work it takes me to post a picture on here. Let me walk ya through it.1.Take the pic2.Upload it from camera to computer3.Use my Microsoft digital imaging to edit and format the pic(this is the most time consuming part, because I need the picture to be 400 pixels across so it can fit on my blog okay)4.Upload the pictures to Photobucket.com5.Copy and paste the link into my blogYa, ya, I know blogger does pics, but I have tried Blogger's way and it stinks.So today, because my Boy had a HUGE, horrible meltdown in his afterschool program and I had to go pick him up and uh, well it was ugly, I can't even go into all the details. I am now tired and stressed and instead, I am just posting the links instead. So click, the pics will be bigger and should have better resolution. Let me know how it goes. And generally, too I use another page to open up so you don't have to go back to get back here. Sorry, too tired for the coding.First, is there anything cuter than thick cotton tights on a little girl in the winter? I don't think so. Proof:tights

Lovely Mountains, as ever — you have the makings of a nifty photo essay there, should you ever have time (HA!) to compile it, since you're tracking those mountains over the months.

I'm with you on the tights — I especially love when they're not wearing any shoes and you get those little toes in the tights. So cute.

The picture of Pea reminds me, you commented on one of my posts about her living with you and how fun it was to have her "everything-is-AWESOME" mindset around. I was thinking about that comment this weekend when I took down our Christmas decor. I was concerned that Eliza would get upset about it because she adores Christmas so, but instead, she spent the whole afternoon being astounded, in a good way, that you can also take DOWN Christmas decorations. And put them in a BOX! And bring them to the ATTIC! For NEXT YEAR!

Thanks, first off, for the comments. I thought I was the only one that thought BBJ was drop-dead cute!

Second, I've recently discovered Picasa. It's a google-based web picture album THING. Actually, any picture you load directly into Blogger will end up on Picasaweb.com, in your account (that you may or may not know you have!), most likely under a folder called TangleMe. (At least, that's what happened to me this week!) Anyhow, you can only load five pictures at a time, like Blogger, BUT, you can then "embed" them into your blog, and CHOOSE how big you want the resulting picture to be. I have best luck with anything but Large. Let me know if you need help with any of that!!
